What is the complete list of possible conky gauges?

Post by Logansfury »

Good evening everyone :)

I have just recently been tutored by Koentje on conky ring gauges and can now create them with minimal collateral damage.

I was wondering just what was the complete list of computer stats that conky gauges can measure.

At this point I have seen and set up for myself:

cpu0 cores average load
cpu cores individual loads
hard drive percent of capacity used
GPU load
RAM percentage being used
cpu0 cores average temp
cpu cores individual temps
Net down
Net up
Swap percentage used

Does this exhaust the options? Would anyone be kind enough to list any I missed?

Thank you for reading :)

Logan

I was just out walking my dog when a number of possibilities struck me:

Im doing GPU load but not GPU temp!

hwmon has temp sensors for mobo as well and fan speed info.

I should be able to construct several more gauges just using hwmon values.

Code: Select all

logansfury@OptiPlex-5040:~$ cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/fan1_input
cat: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/fan1_input: Operation not supported
logansfury@OptiPlex-5040:~$ sudo cat /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/fan1_input
cat: /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/fan1_input: Operation not supported
logansfury@OptiPlex-5040:~$ 
I am getting so sick of this piece of shit computer. Im taking it to the repair shop tomorrow and seeing if it can get an SDD while turning it's current HDD into a backup drive I can restore my documents, pictures, music etc on.

I think the sky is the limit using those 3rd party ring gauges.

If you can come up with any data with more than 1 point, then it can be a candidate.

You specifically mentioned ring gauges so I'm going on that concept.

I mentioned it another thread, you have start and end and max points. You can gauge anything you can possibly think of!

I have made the following gauges for my specific system:

cpu load cores 1-4
cpu load cpu0 cores average
cpu temps cores 1-4
cpu temp cpu0 cores average
mobo temps 1 & 2
GPU temp
GPU busy percentage
GPU fan *still working with Koentje to enable*
mobo fans 1 & 2
cpu freq in GHz cores 1-4
swap percentage
net upspd
net dwnspd
disc used percentage
ram used percentage

So thats 26 guages (25 + 1 pending)
On my Desktop PC battery percentage or any other battery meters are useless.

Can anyone think of anything common I have missed?

Can anyone think of anything uncommon that I have missed? :D
